Camping
- Involves setting up of tents outside your vehicle or in areas like beach or woods with mountain views

Overlanding

- Uses vehicle as primary camp setup for eating, sleeping and relaxing
- Usually lasts for extended lengths of time (months to years) and have multiple destinations
- Can be expensive due to the amount of equipment you’ll need like roof racks, roof tents, interior modifications to the vehicle, and an off-road capable truck or SUV
